This is the story of the village that wanted a golf course. Jaime Ortiz Patiño, honorary president of Valderrama, became interested, the municipality gave the land, Robert Trent Jones Sr. did the design and La Cañada was built. Over a decade later, with a lot of financial help from the First Tee programme and Jaime Ortiz Patiño, the second nine holes was opened, this time designed by Dave Thomas. Now that"s some municipal golf course. And now there"s the clubhouse!
